Stripe Support - Setup with MarketGrabber
This article provides basic setup information to use the Stripe payment platform with your MarketGrabber site.
Getting a Stripe Account - Go to
https://stripe.com to get a Stripe account. When you setup your Stripe account you will be asked what currency you will be using. This will be a value such as "usd" for US dollars, "cad" for Canadian dollars, etc. This will need to be entered in your MarketGrabber site.
Contact Stripe sales/support for any assistance in setting up your Stripe account.
Please be aware of the following regarding Stripe accounts:
- SSL is required - In order to use Stripe LIVE with your site, you must have an SSL certificate installed on your website.
- Domain Name Live - In order to use Stripe LIVE with your site, your domain name must be live. You can use Stripe in TEST mode if your domain name is not live.
- Do not Share Stripe Accounts - Each website should have its own Stripe account. Sharing a single Stripe account across 2 or more websites is not supported.
If you already have an existing Stripe account that you are using on a different website, you can easily create a new Stripe account after logging into your existing Stripe account.
See https://stripe.com/docs/payments/account/multiple-accounts for details
The benefits of this approach include:- A new account can be in test mode while an existing account stays in live mode.
- Statement descriptors that your customer's see are unique to each site, reducing the potential for chargebacks.
- Payments for each site are automatically applied to the site where they originated.
- Reporting is easily segmented by account.
- Overall it is just easier to associate a different Stripe account with each website you operate.
- Bank deposits - with a separate Stripe account you can have deposits sent to a different back account, and you also have the option to deposit money into your original bank account.
Login to Stripe Dashboard - After you have your Stripe account setup, login to your Stripe account to access the Stripe dashboard.
Note: if you are using multiple Stripe accounts, use the dropdown at the top left of the Stripe dashboard to choose which site you are working with. In the illustration below, clicking on ChannelH.com shows a list of the accounts you have access to and may switch to.
Make Your Stripe Account Live - A new Stripe account will start in TEST mode. Please make the Stripe account LIVE before using with your MarketGrabber site.

Stripe API Keys in LIVE Mode - Once your Stripe account is activated by Stripe you are ready to use Stripe in LIVE mode, you will need to copy your Stripe LIVE API keys from the Stripe dashboard:
